## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has awarded a contract for the provision of Community Accommodation Services Tier 3 in the North West region. The contract has a total value of £25,837,420. The contract duration is 3.5 years, with a possible extension of up to 2 x 12 months. The procurement method used was an open procedure. The tender period ended on the 14th September 2023, and the contract period runs from the 24th June 2024 to the 12th December 2029.

This opportunity is particularly suitable for businesses operating in the community, social, and personal services sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. The contract aims to provide transitional accommodation for prison leavers in the North West region, supporting their reintegration and reducing reoffending rates. Businesses offering support services and accommodations are well-suited for this opportunity to contribute positively to social outcomes and economic growth.

## Notice

This contract award notice is in relation to the Community Accommodation Service Tier 3 (CAS3). CAS3 provides an opportunity to enable prison leavers who would otherwise be homeless to escape the vicious cycle of reoffending by providing up to 84 nights transitional accommodation on release from prison, or when moving on from CAS1 (Approved Premises) and CAS2 (Home Detention Curfew or Bail Accommodation) provisions. The service includes floating support to assist with the maintenance of the transitional accommodation. CAS3 provides a pathway to settled accommodation and acts as an enabler to wider strategic outcomes by giving people on probation greater stability as they engage in treatment, fulfil their wider licence conditions, improve their opportunities for employment and help the economy grow. This contract is for the North West Probation Region. The service provides for a contracted volume of bed spaces with the flexibility to adjust the provision volumes to optimise the capacity of the CAS3 bed spaces. The contract term is 3.5 years with the option to extend by up to 2 x 12 months.
